Hello,Universe.

We’re a tiny but mighty studio.* We’ve handcrafted websites and apps for more than one hundred clients over 13 years.

Design isn’t just about the look and feel. Design is how it works, and we believe the best way to focus on this is to work as close to the end result as possible. That’s why we start all our projects with simple sketches, and quickly transition into design­ing working prototypes in code. This is done by the same designers who started the work, which ensures that our original design intent is carried all the way to the end product.

Our core belief is that the products we design should work across anything that can access the web. Whether it’s a laptop, a smartphone, a watch, or even a browser integrated into a car’s dashboard. Previously, we worked in Silicon Valley designing digital products for everyone from startups to Fortune 500 companies. Today, we’re focused on helping our own clients to succeed in their businesses.

We’re passionate about what we do. Below you can find a few of the projects we’ve been working with.

Upstatic is a tool that makes deploying websites to Amazon S3 as easy as pushing changes to GitHub. Upstatic automatically configures everything for you so you don’t have to. We’re respon­sible for the identity, copy­writing, IA/UX/UI design, and development for the website.

Legibility App is a free tool for typeface and UI designers for evaluating typeface legibility under different viewing con­di­tions. Inspired by a recent talk of ours, called Typography for User Interfaces, the Legibil­ity App works by applying a level of filters—like vision, blur, over­glow, and pixelation—on top of text.

Feature.js is a fast, simple, and light­weight browser feature detection library. It has no dependencies and weighs only 1kb mini­fied and gzipped. In addition to creating the library itself, we’re respon­sible for the identity, copywriting, design, and devel­op­ment of the website. You can view the source code here.

Asko Salminen is a Finnish artist who creates modern sculptures and concep­tual art, often combined with strong black & white photography. Along with the web­site concept, design, and develop­ment, we wrote an article about the media queries used: Scaling with EM units.
